Your chosen team must be at least a (+3) underdog (Only games listed in this column are eligible)

Your chosen team must win the game outright (no 'pushes' or 'covers')

Season winner is the one with the most upsets correctly chosen between Week #1 through the Conference Championship Games (20 weeks all together)

There will be a points system to determine a winner in the event of a tie

Points will be accumulated by adding the game spreads for your correct picks (if you take Carolina (+4.5) and Carolina wins, you will be awarded a win and 4.5 points). Be careful making picks based on the number of points possible. Points only count if you are tied for the total wins lead when the whole contest is finished.

The No Upsets Option: Predict correctly that 'No Upsets' will occur in any given week and you will be awarded one win and a point total equal to the sum of all the spreads in that week's Upset Special. If you wish to exercise the 'No Upsets' Option, that prediction is due by 5 minutes prior to kickoff of the first game of the week in question. This includes Thursday Night Football or Saturday games. The 'No Upsets' option is confined to the Upset Possibilities listed in this article.

Picks are due no later than 5 minutes before the scheduled start of the broadcast time for your game. The FootballPros.com time stamp on your post is gospel.

Spread lines, once posted, will remain static throughout the week. This isn't The Sports Book at Caesar's Palace, after all.

It looks like Rich, Brian, and I all gain 1.055 on the Browns, and Amy nets 1.04 on the Dolphins.

IF you were going to bet on the Browns, week 16 was the right time. I doubt very much the Steelers would have allowed CLE a win next week in Pittsburgh had the Browns entered the game at 0-15.

I watched with great attention the 2008-9 week 17 Packers-Lions game. The Pack had NOTHING to play for, but they played everybody and everybody played hard.You could tell GB had no interest in being the squad that allowed an 0-15 team their only win in a season.

Having been in Europe the last three months and refusing to pay to watch the Browns, this was the first Cleveland game I'd seen in months this past Saturday. I don't know what Pittsburgh would have done, but I can tell you that San Diego—also with nothing to play for—really, truly contested that game. There were some brutal hits exchanged, especially considering both teams were eliminated from the playoffs weeks ago. Nobody wants to be the team that allowed a win to a 1-15 team. I'm sure Dolphins fans can recall the same thing from their 2007 season.
